I'm an Ursinus-educated, 25 year old professional working at a
great financial services company.

People have called me quiet, but that's only before they get to
know me; I choose my words carefully, and make sure that I
understand what I'm talking about beforehand! I love to discuss
virtually anything, and I enjoy being challenged.

I currently work in the financial services industry helping people
plan for retirement (not a bank!). I recently accepted a new job as
a proofreader, and I'm really liking the change of pace. Outside of
work I just like to hang out with my friends; I recently attended
the Penny Arcade Expo, which was a blast! I watch lots of bad
movies, read often, and love to scuba dive, although with my
current income it's too expensive to go often :(

I love the Lord of the Rings, and anything related to
J.R.R. Tolkien and his works. I enjoy science fiction and fantasy
primarily, especially Isaac Asimov, but some of my favorite books
are classics in other genres (the Count of Monte Cristo, the Tao te
Ching, and Heart of Darkness, among many more). I'm a bit of a
bibliophile, and if you have any suggestions I'll happily take
them!

I also love to watch bad movies; my friends and I enjoy finding the
worst movies possible. We've all agreed that Birdemic is the
absolute worst movie, although we've seen a number of other
terrible ones (The Room, Troll 2, Plan 9 from Outer Space, etc.). I
enjoy good movies as well, and I'm open to watching pretty much
anything.

I don't watch a lot of TV right now, but when I did it tended to be
comedy. Adult Swim was always a favorite (although they sometimes
have things that I don't like at all), and I do enjoy watching
anime, partially because I'm hoping to retain some of the Japanese
I learned in college.

Depending on who I've been spending time with, I think about
religion and politics fairly frequently (that's what happens when
one of your best friends quits his job to become a pastor). At work
I think a lot about market trends and news, since I work in that
field and I frequently discuss finance and economics with one of my
friends when I'm there (lame, I know).

I'm likely hanging out with my friends, eating at one of our
favorite restaurants and watching a bad movie. I might also be off
in New York City visiting a few of my other friends depending on
the time of the year!

I've only ever had two serious girlfriends, and only one for longer
than a year. I'm not on here to float around between women, I'm
hoping to find someone with whom I can really connect well; that's
how I prefer to date.

Message me if you're up for a committed relationship; I want
someone I can really connect with. I'd love to hang out and get to
know you!

Being perfectly honest, I'm looking for someone who shares, at
least to some extent, my fluency in sarcasm and my snarky attitude.
I would take a bullet for my friends and family (not to mention a
significant other), but I do like to poke fun, and I'm hoping to
meet someone that can dish it out as well (as long as it's
well-intentioned), and that definitely includes making fun of me
too! A good sense of humor is essential.
